Susan Kingsley Knihy

Rue, lady Gruadh, je poslední ženou v dynastii rodu skotských králů. Po smrti manžela, mocného pána ze severu, je nucena, stále ještě nosíc jeho dítě, provdat se za jeho vraha, bojovného Macbetha. Po jeho vítězstvích nad Vikingy, Sasy a zrádnými skotskými pány začíná Rue svého muže, jehož tak opovrhovala, pomalu respektovat. A v té chvíli si uvědomuje, že pouze Macbeth, se svými nekonečnými ambicemi, je schopen přesáhnout hranice rozlehlého skotského severu. Je jediným mezi skotskými pány hrajícími své válečné hry, kdož může sjednotit Skotsko - a její královská krev je klíčem k úspěchu. Slavná autorka historicko-romantických příběhů obdivuhodně rozplétá ze železa ukuté mýty severu. Zapomeňte na školní příběh o proradné ženě, před vámi leží živý portrét odvážné, pravé skotské královny.

Škótsky spisovateľ A.C. Doyle, ktorý sa preslávil najmä detektívkami s hlavnou postavou Sherlocka Holmesa, nás v románe Stratený svet zavedie do ťažko prístupných pralesov v okolí rieky Amazonky, kde sa údajne zachovalo živočíšstvo a rastlinstvo spred dvesto miliónov rokov. Štyria odvážni cestovatelia sa odhodlali preskúmať toto tvrdenie. Počas expedície spoznali množstvo predhistorických zvierat, predovšetkým z mladšej doby jurskej.
